Good bread comes to those that wait - Swiss Bakers to open before 2013?

In March 2011, Harvard President Drew Faust told us that Harvard had recently signed a lease with the Swiss Bakers company to rent Harvard's former Volkwagen dealership on Western Ave.

Harvard VP Christine Heenan was, in retrospect, overly optimistic almost a year and a half ago when she said:

"When we come together for the 10th Boston Shines next year, you will see Stone Hearth Pizza across the street, Swiss Bakers café and the Innovation Lab down Western Avenue."

2012's Boston Shines came and went without the bakery opening, and 17 months later we are still looking forward to when Swiss Bakers arrival.

But according to this tweet, our wait is almost over and we will have fresh pretzels come New Years.
